This course will cultivate critical thinking skills by presenting computer science as a problem solving discipline with emphasis in: fundamentals of computer science, algorithm development and analysis, and the design, coding, debugging and documentation of structured programs. Introduction to some software engineering concepts will also be covered.
Course Objectives Students will be introduced to problem-solving methods that lead to the development of correct, well-structured programs. By the end of this course, a student should be able to perform the basics of programming in Java. Topics also include programming methodology through systematic analysis, design, implementation, and testing.
